According to the International Federation of Robotics (IFR) statistical department,“Between 2011 and 2016, the average robot sales increase was at 12% per year (compound annualgrowth rate (CAGR)). The number of robot installations had never increased so heavily before.Between 2005 and 2008, the average annual number of

It teaches methods in engineeringmeasurements and data analysis including sensor performance, data acquisition, measurement un-certainty, statistics, etc. Disciplinary topics for each lab activity vary widely but generally reinforceconcepts from courses taken earlier in the curriculum. ABET learning outcomes assessed in thecourse include ‘the ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpretdata;’ ‘the ability to communicate effectively;’ and ’the ability to function in multidisciplinaryteams.’1The format for the course includes two 50 minute lectures (Monday and Friday) given by a singleinstructor to the

As a response, School of Engineering launched a newLong Range Plan “Engineering with a Big E: Integrated Engineering Education”(Moses, J., 1994), which is essentially the integration of engineering technologies andengineering science at first and the integration of STEM and non-STEM elements aswell (Kong H.B, 2011).The “Big E” strategy led to CDIO (Conceive, Design, Implement, Operate) approachin the Department of Aerospace Engineering (Crawley, 2001) and had a profoundinfluence on engineering education: Olin College of Engineering came up with“Engineering2.0” demanding new qualities for the next generation of problem solvers(Miller R.K., 2017
